Cuda, what I'd do is download Ares 1.8.8 off www.download.com then use Ares to get a copy of Adobe Photoshop 7.0.  It's a great program for doing virtually anything you'd ever want to do to a photo or image and they include a cropping tool and and image resize option. :thumbsup: :cheers:

It's the far right option on the Home Page tool bar: "Tools" :cheers:

We'll have to find another online site to put on our tools page since that now requires you to be a student or staff member.

If you have windows xp you can download this handy little resizing option.  All you have to do is right click on the picture, choose what size you want the picture to be, and it will create that picture in the smaller size.

If you need to tweak a little bit more and don't want to install anything new. Just open the picture file in MSPaint, once the picture is open just choose the "Image" option from the top tool bar, then select "Stretch & Skew". Keep your Horizontal and Vertical percents the same when reducing the size, like 50% and 50% and it should shrink your pictures down easily.

Not nearly as easy as right click and re-size to some defaults, like with the power toy image tool but you do can see your changes while your making them. Image tool is easiest if you know the default size your looking for.

Try them both!!  :chatting:

I've put in a new link for an online resizing tool. It's in the "Tool" section on the main page.
